I like the layout of the Cosmos S but you have to buy most of the fans so the price can be pretty steep.

Antec 1200 is a nice case that does come with a lot of fans.

I have not looked at the HAF cases so no comment on those but I'm sure they are pretty good as well.

What? You have all 3 front fans on intake, then you can put another one on the HDD bay, and another one on the side door!

antec 1200 hands down. protip: don't get the cosmos s. you need to get rid of the stock fans and get 5 120mm to get good airflow. I traded my cosmos s for a 1200.

If you don't mind the $280 price tag then the Corsair Obsidian 800D is also a great cooler.

For air cooling? I don't think so. That's probably the biggest drawback of the case other than the price.

Why not? Individually cooled components... top triple exhaust fans... what's not to like?

It may not have a massive 240mm fan like some of the other cases but I like that it uses 120mm fans as they are the most available with a lot of variety for high performance options.

Where's the front intake? Where's all the airflow? It's just not there. The top exhaust is meant to house a triple rad. Take the 200mm fan off the 1200 and it still is a better air cooling case than the Corsair.

Hm never noticed it didn't have a front intake... actually the intake is meant to come from the bottom with the 140mm fan there.
